The Prospector catalog will be down all day on Monday, August 4th, in final preparation for the launch of a new partnership with MOBIUS. You will be able to search in Prospector but not able to make requests during the downtime.

MOBIUS is a consortium based out of Columbia, MO. It has over 70 members, which include several academic and seminary libraries, some public libraries, and a few special libraries. Prospector users will have access to an additional 27 million items in the MOBIUS union catalog. If a user doesn’t find what they are looking for in Prospector, there will be a button in Prospector to search for the item in the MOBIUS catalog. If the item is found in MOBIUS, the user can place the request just as they would place a request in Prospector.

Remote access to library databases requiring authentication will be unavailable on Tuesday, July 29th, from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time. This will occur during the regularly scheduled ITS downtime and is necessary to update the server and program used for remote access to library resources. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Dawn Combe is a new Reference Librarian at Dayton Memorial Library. Prior to the reference department, Dawn worked as the acquisitions assistant in the technical services department of DML where she enjoyed ordering books for the library collection. She is also a Regis University graduate and is ready to help students with their information needs. Originally from New Orleans, Dawn, her husband, and their two children enjoy having four seasons and exploring all that colorful Colorado has to offer.

Part of the Notarianni Gallery on the 4th floor of the Library is hosting an exhibit of Political Hats from its collection of presidential campaign memorabilia. The exhibit is inspired by the large exhibit of hats and headware from around the world owned and displayed by Beverly Chico on the Library’s 2nd floor.

Our interlibrary loan system will be unavailable beginning at 8:00 p.m. Mountain time on Saturday, July 19th, for maintenance. We expect the system to be back online by 3:00 a.m. Sunday, July 20th. You will not be able to submit interlibrary loan requests during the downtime.

Scanned versions of The Regis College Ranger yearbook are available in the Regis University Digital Repository (RUDR). You can view the yearbooks in RUDR or download a pdf file of the yearbook. They are best viewed on a PC rather than Apple devices.

You may find downloading it easier for better viewing. Please allow a minute for downloading due to the large size of the files.
